I bought this cooler and am very disappointed with the Lack of quality control of secondary packaging and/or finished product. I received the cooler with outside torn flaps and a dent on the ice chest cooler lid. Therefore, I cannot comment on the ice chest. I am sending it back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Classic Coleman holds up and does the job while looking great in the process! I used to have this cooler but had to leave it behind in our last move. I purchased the 54-gallon, silver version before a party weekend and it delivered just in time. We filled it with three bags of ice and a bunch of mini sodas and water. Almost (5) days later, I was asked to bring cold drinks to another school event. I was shocked to find a fully frozen ice bag still in the cooler along with several drinks, still ice cold. I drained the water and carried the cooler with a few more added drinks to the event and it was all perfectly ice cold. Amazing how well this cooler works!!! And it looks great too. :-)
Awesome looking cooler that keeps the beverages cold. Only used a few times but, will have it for the summer soon on the trail where the 5 star rating waits - durability. Can’t wait to use it more.
